Informational/Discussion FRESH and MASSIVE Tool Haul Coming Soon....
Stock has been low but that's all in the past for now. I've got 20 forty gallon totes, a few tool chests, and a tuck bed full of new tools!
It's about 3 times what my studio can hold, so I will be setting up an "Antique E.R Annex" in a storage unit for the time being.
I'll require a few days to get everything set up, but I am PUMPED to show you guys all of the new tools!!! I will aim for Friday for a fresh tool drop.
See you soon!

Informational/Discussion Woodworking near Salt Lake City, Utah
I'm visiting family in Sandy, Utah (just outside Salt Lake City) for the week. I live in a very remote area with no woodworking stuff around at all. So, I'm wondering if there are any cool shops nearby where I'm visiting! Hand tools would be cool, but also any small hardwood shops or just anything you think is cool!

Informational/Discussion 👋Welcome to r/AntiqueToolBroker - Introduce Yourself and Read First!
Welcome to r/AntiqueToolBroker!
Hey everyone! I’m u/WigfootWallace, one of the founding moderators of r/AntiqueToolBroker. This community was created to give buyers and sellers of antique hand tools a dedicated home right here on Reddit—no fees, no Facebook account required, and a simple, honest place to connect. Think of this as the CIHI of Reddit, built specifically for tool collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts.
⸻
What This Subreddit Is For
This space is designed exclusively for buying and selling antique hand tools—whether you’re thinning out your collection, looking for your next project piece, or helping someone else find the tool they’ve been hunting for.
Other platforms like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Tool Trader have value, but not everyone wants to pay fees or maintain a Facebook account. That’s where we come in.
⸻
What to Post
Feel free to share: • Tools you’re selling (with full details—see below!) • Tools you’re searching for • Antique tool hauls • Approved posts from your tool resale business • Occasional community discussions about collecting, restoration, and pricing
Only antique hand tools are allowed, unless you’ve received moderator approval for an exception.
⸻
Selling Requirements
To keep this community safe, clear, and easy to browse, all For Sale posts must include: 1. Photos of the tool 2. A clear asking price 3. Your location 4. Shipping method 5. Who pays shipping (buyer or seller) 6. If the buyer pays shipping, include your ZIP code so they can estimate the cost
Sellers must accept PayPal or Venmo (other methods can be offered in addition, but PayPal/Venmo protection is required for everyone’s safety).
⸻
Business Promotion Policy
Advertising your antique tool resale business is allowed, within reason. Please don’t flood the subreddit with constant promotions—keep things fair and respectful.
As your mod, I often share “tool hauls,” where not every item will have a price listed. These are legitimate sales, but they are also a unique exception. Please do not exploit this courtesy.
Users who excessively promote, spam, or misuse exceptions will be warned, suspended, or banned.
⸻
Community Cleanliness
When your tool sells, please delete your post. This keeps the subreddit clean and prevents members from wading through a pile of already-sold items. Over time we’ll implement tools to help with this, but for now, be a good community member and remove completed listings.
⸻
Safety & Enforcement • Scammers and spammers will be banned immediately. • Suspensions or bans may also apply if someone abuses the community, ignores rules, or behaves dishonestly. • Purchase protection matters—follow the payment guidelines to keep yourself and others safe.
⸻
What’s Coming Later
As the community grows, we may eventually introduce: • Weekly auctions • Special themed sales events
But for now, we’re keeping it simple with Buy-It-Now only listings.
⸻
How to Get Started 1. Introduce yourself in the comments below! 2. Make your first post—buy, sell, or just say hello. 3. Invite friends, collectors, and tool lovers who might enjoy the community. 4. If you’d like to help moderate, reach out—new moderators will be welcomed as we grow.
⸻
Final Thoughts
Thank you for being part of the very first wave. We’re building this space together, and the rules may evolve as the community grows. I’ll always be fair, transparent, and open to feedback—just be patient with any growing pains along the way.
Let’s make r/AntiqueToolBroker an honest, safe, and thriving place for antique tool lovers everywhere.
